Diablo community SSU up and running for beta-testing

After months of discussion, a community-run update site for Maemo 4 devices like the N800 and N8x0 is now available for beta-testing. If successful, this will provide a mechanism for providing application bug fixes and updates to Diablo users without requiring Nokia to ship an update. Lucas Maneos has set up and signed an initial repository so that the kinks in the process can be worked out: Note also that this is not the final repository and depending on how testing goes you may have to reflash back to the official 5.2008.43-7 in order to install the "official" community SSU when it arrives (though I will try to avoid that if at all possible). Testing this is vital to ensure that the upgrade path for end-users is seamless (the "S" in "SSU"). If successful, it should pave the way for the community to pick up upgrading other superseded devices in future.

Nokia stressing importance of Maemo Community Council elections: stand now before time runs out

The nomination period for the next Maemo Community Council ends on Wednesday, 17th March. With only four names in the fray, the number of candidates is the lowest it's ever been. Quim Gil, Nokia's community manager, explained the importance of the community council to Nokia, The council is seen by Nokia and the people pushing the MeeGo project as a very interesting asset and characteristic of the Maemo community. It can't be translated directly to the MeeGo context but everybody agrees that having an elected body canalizing an agenda complementing the strategy and work of the MeeGo technical infrastructure would be useful and worth trying. There are hundreds of eligible candidates, and the only responsibility is to carry on what you're already doing!
